Caution mixing: Benzoyl peroxide can be combined with Sulfur, Adapalene, Clindamycin, and Salicylic Acid. Sulfur medications can cause a severe allergic reaction. Do not use Benzoyl Peroxide/Sulfer during treatment with tretinoin (Altinac, Avita, Renova, Retin-A, Tretin-X). Using these medications at the same time could cause severe skin irritation even if used at different times of day.
